CONSCIOUS MENDACITY.
The Chicago inter Ocean says:
Congressman Hepburn of lowa,
, made a good point in the pension
debate yesterday. He made the
assertion that the late Cenfeder
ate States contributed not one dol
’ar toward the payment of pensions
( of Union veterans, and followed
. this by the statement that of the
r $150,000y000 internal revenue tax
, es the South paid less than $9,000-
000; of the $177,000,000 custom
receipts only $4,000 000, and of the
i miscellaneous receipts less than
> $2,000 COO. In return tho South is
I paid $9,000,000 in sugar bounty,
$5,000,000 in pensions, and $5,000,
1 000 in postal receipts. This was a
centre shot and there was no reply.
This argument is based on the
assumption that the taxes i re paid
by the people of the vicinity where
they are collected . If it is justi
lied by the facts, then only two or
three states contribute any consid
erable amount to the expenses of
the government.
Nine-tenths of the revenue from
customs is paid at New York and
the bulk of the internal revenue
at a few cities—Peoria, Louisville.
Cinoinnatti, etc. If it be true,
therefore, that the Southern Stalos
pay 7 none of the pensions, it is also
true that most of the Northern
States pay none. According to this
rule, nearly the whole weight of
oust mis taxation rests upon New
Yoru, an 1 the weight of other tax
ation is concentrated upon three
or *cur states.
The New England s’ates escape
nearly scot free. The trans-Miss
issippi states contribute little or
nothing. Pennsylvania's burden is
very light, and Indiana pays next
to nothing.
Mr. Hepburn knew perfectly
well when he made his speech that
he was advancing a dishonest ar
gument. The wonder is that he
was willing to make it, knowing
the discredit it would bring to
him in tho estimation of all intel
ligent, fair minded people. He
knew that tke taxes to which he >
referred are taxes upon consump
tion, and that his statementscould
not be true unless it also be true
that the people of the North buy
all the goods imported, drink all
the brandy and whiskey distilkd 1
in the country, chew all the tobac
co manufactured and smoke all
the cigars made. Possibly their
contribution is not as large, per
head, as that of the Northern peo
ple, but as it goes North, along
with the larger part collected in
that region, it impoverishes them
more to pay it.—Macon Tele
graph.

THAT JOINT DISCUSSION.
The friends of Col. Atkinson and
Gen. Evans have agreed on the dates
and terms of the joint discussion be
tween those two candidates, but the
result is a disappointment to the
public. Only four joint debates were
arranged, and these few appoint
ments will close the battle between
the two on the hustings.
The friends of Col. Atkinson insist
ed on a larger number of appoint
ments, so that every section of the
state, and the people generally might
have an opportunity to judge of their
respective merits and claims for the
office of Governor,
The friends of Gen. Evans declin
et to agree to more than four joint
debates, and the joint committee of
arrangements selected the following
places aud dates: Chitlin, March 21st;
Athens, March 23d; Rome, March
27th; and Hawkinsville, March 31st.
These debates are looked forward
to with much expectation, and they
will no doubt prove strong pointers
to the final result at the State Demo
cratic Convention cn August 2d.—
Cedartown Standard.
POLITICAL HYSTERICS.
The Augusta Chronicle, which has
all along opposed any joint debates
in this canvass, grows hysterical at
the danger of its candidate, as ths
time approaches when the debates
will come oft despite its protests, and
advises the people not to attend them.
Here is the way it closes a half col
un n editorial:
“There is no need for debates be
tween Gen. Ev&rsand Mr. Atkinson.
When the people choose one of these
as their standard-bearer, we will ex
pect him to bear that standard with
out hesitation against the champicn
of any other political faith. But the
time fer the fireworks has not come
yet. In meantime let Democrats
busy themselves at home, and let
politics alone ”
The Chenicle h'ts evidently arriv
ed at a foolish and superannuated
age. After having whooped up poli
ties for months past in its efforts for
Evans, it is afraid te have the people
turn out and compare its candidate
with another aspirant, and cries for
peace Eut the Democrats will turn
but, all the same, and make their
choice between the man the State
manipulators forced upon the track
and the ma* they couldn't scare off
the track.
The Chronicle should persuade
Gen. Evans to come down and save
his supporters from the terrors of the
joint debate— terrors which have un
enned them at the start, and who
shall say what the effect will be at
the end?—Griffin News

of ths situation, but we have an
abiding faith that the new admin
’straticu will do its duty.
And none es the city officials
who epposed the the Moore ticket
and fsught it with the machinery,
have their friends in the field
“bringing pressure to bear” on the
individual members of the new

Our congratulations go out to
that puißsant Atkinson paper, the
Hustler of Romb.ou its splendid
victory in the municipal flight that
terminated Tuesday in the election
•f the whole ticket is espoused.
The Tribune was warmer for the
defeated side than for Evans, and
ths attitude of the two papers may
be taken as a very good indication
es the way the county will go in
tbs gubernatorial race. —Griffin
News.
The Hustler of Rome ii deeply
grateful to the News for its neatly
put compliment. This paper wins
because it never barters ito influ
ence for a candidates money, but
always espouses the cause of the
masses, end never “lets up” until
victory ip won. The News needs
have no fears for the six votes of
Floyd. The u°w mayor and all but
one of his aldeimen are avowed
A tkioeon men, while the defeated
candidate for mayor is the only
man in Rome who has branded
Mr. Atkinson as a “demagogue.”
Only one man on his ticket was
for Atkinson. The practical, fight
ing, wining democrats of Floyd
are for the young statesman of
Coweta for Governor.
